Question:
The questioner, Salah alif alif, says: In the hadith of the Messenger, when he (peace and blessings be upon him) said regarding the burial of the deceased
Ask for steadfastness for your brother, for he is now being askedاسألوا لأخيكم الثبات فإنه الآن يسأل
, what is the occasion for that? Do we say that when burying the deceased in our current time? Are there other supplications?

Answer:
Yes, it is established from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said to the Companions when they buried a deceased person
and say: Seek forgiveness for your brother, and beg steadfastness for him, for he will be questioned now.قَالَ اسْتَغْفِرُوا لأَخِيكُمْ وَسَلُوا لَهُ التَّثْبِيتَ فَإِنَّهُ الآنَ يُسْأَلُ
Sunan Abi Dawud 3221Sahih (Al-Albani)
. So when they finish burying him, they stand over his grave and say: O Allah, forgive so-and-so, son of so-and-so; O Allah, have mercy on him; O Allah, grant him steadfastness. And they repeat this. Yes.
